Amaan Ali Saqlain is the elected Youth MP for Rotherham , UK. He was elected in late February 2018. His family are originally from Kathar Azad Kashmir and it was a great achievement for him to become a Youth MP. His family and the local community are very proud of him.
During their term of office, Youth MPs work with their MPs, decision makers, councillors and local youth groups on the issues of greatest concern to their constituents.
Nationally, the views of young people are represented in the UK Youth Parliament manifesto, which contains statements on the issues Youth MPs think are most important. Youth MPs across the UK work to give young people a voice – listening to marginalised groups, organising events, making films, meeting MPs, lobbying for change, organising campaigns and appearing in the media, all to amplify the views of their peers.
The role of the Youth MP is increasingly being recognised at a local and national level. Some local authorities have given their Youth MPs equal status to their MPs, and UKYP works hard to enable MYPs to meet regularly with Government Ministers, Members of the Opposition and civil servants.
UKYP also works to promote the role and influence of MYPs to service providers, e.g. the transport industry and health services.
